The hall fell silent.
Malcolm paused for a moment, then shook his head with an amused smile. “It’s good for youngsters to have ambition, but there’s a limit to everything
“Maybe you know someone who knows the forum administrators. Maybe they even lent you a thousand coins to make posts. But that doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things.”
Sharon answered coolly, “It’s really not a big deal.”
“Young lady, let’s just drop this matter. Mrs. Vance doesn’t need to apologize, and you don’t need to pursue it further. How does that sound?” Malcolm suggested.
“Not good at all,” Sharon refused flatly.
Malcolm’s face immediately darkened. “Don’t be ungrateful. I’m only being this lenient because of your bloodline and out of respect for the Baxter family. Do you think an ordinary person who offended the Vance family would still be standing here talking?”
“Mr. Hargrove, she’s just a child. There’s no need to intimidate her like that,” Richard said, stepping forward to shield Sharon. He wasn’t taking any chances with Malcolm potentially attacking Shari. Everyone knew the Elders‘ Council was full of unreasonable lunatics.
Wallace moved forward too, clearly annoyed. “The one being ungrateful is the Vances, not Shari.”
Marvin’s expression grew dark. “What’s with threatening my sister? Why don’t you try that with me instead?”
The rest of her brothers quickly gathered in front of Sharon, forming a protective wall around her. It was a heartwarming scene.
Nicholas watched with a flash of envy in his eyes. ‘My little fiancée is really lucky to have so many brothers looking out for her,‘ he thought.
Nicholas spoke slowly, “Mr. Hargrove, you went too far just now. My fiancée gets scared easily, so don’t frighten her.”
Malcolm was completely baffled. ‘Gets scared easily? Who are we talking about here?‘ he thought.
‘Wasn’t she the one who just punched Johnson so hard into a pillar that he couldn’t be pulled off? How could a girl with that kind of strength be called timid? Nicholas, are you blind?‘ Malcolm thought.
Marvin jumped in to back him up. “He’s right. Shari is timid, innocent, and kind–hearted. You’re just an old man using dirty tricks to threaten people.”
Everyone present was dumbfounded. ‘Are you all completely blind?‘ they thought.
Karen wasn’t ready to give up. “Nicholas, don’t you think this is going too far? If the Baxter family hadn’t helped her, could Sharon really have accomplished so much on her own?”
“We’ve already told you the Baxter family had nothing to do with the post. Are all you just idiots?” Brent had clearly lost his patience.
Nicholas continued, “Mr. Hargrove, your decision isn’t fair.”
Malcolm gave a cold laugh. “Nothing in this world is absolutely fair. If you want fairness, you need power. They’re just a branch of the Vance family. I’m protecting the interests of the Four Great Families.
“If we make an exception today, won’t everything fall apart in the future?”
“What if we’re not just a side branch of the family?” Sharon suddenly spoke up, her expression cold.
“If that’s the case, then this would be the Vance family’s private matter, and naturally, Mrs. Vance would decide how to handle it,” Malcolm said.
“Absolutely not! I’d rather die than let these little monsters back into the Vance family. They must be dreaming,” Roxanne suddenly screamed

“When did I ever say I wanted to return to the Vance family?” Sharon fet out a soft laugh.
plan to buy out all the Vanze family groparting
Sharon’s brothers turned around in unison, staring at her in shock.
Even Nicholas, who rarely showed emotion, looked surprised. ‘Is she serious?‘ he thought.
The hall plunged into an eerie silence. Everyone was stunned, their faces saying “Did I hear that right?”
Only Sharon remained calm.
Joan stood beside her, equally composed but secretly excited. ‘Is Ms. Vance finally going to drop her mask and crush these jerker the thought. This se awesome! I wish I could post this on Instagram right now!
Suddenly, a jarring laugh broke the silence. “Sharon, I think you’re the one with mental problems. You want to buy out the Vance family? Are you t dreaming from last night?”
Karen was laughing so hard tears formed in her eyes, as if she’d just heard the joke of the century.
